This week, Access All Areas members have the opportunity to download a collection of flamingo patterns and graphics designed by Freepik in a colorful watercolour style. The pack contains 10 repeating patterns and individual flamingo graphics, all in a professional vector format. These are a great way to give your projects a summery feel, and they will be especially effective when combined with the accompanying floral elements.
During the summer, flamingos seek out warm waters and find a comfortable home in shallow lakes or ponds. They are also able to “run” on water, using their webbed feet to gain speed before they lift up into the air and fly away. They also build nests of mud along waterways. A female lays one egg, which hatches after about 30 days.
Artists around the world have taken a unique approach to depicting this iconic bird. Ng Lye Yee’s illustration depicts a pair of flamingos standing among palm fronds, and the ability to add text makes this an ideal choice for custom cards or party invitations. This design also evokes a 1980s aesthetic, which could work well on flyers for events and music concerts.
Nataliia Kravchata takes inspiration from M.C. Escher, French watercolor paintings, and repeating patterns to create Watercolor Flamingo Pattern. These pink birds have a wavy body shape that blends with the background, and the design is sure to stand out on clothing or wallpaper. This design also provides a good starting point for an art lesson about the Principle of Balance.
Another flamingo-themed design comes from Evgeniia Zhuk, whose Boho Flamingo Watercolor Set features a variety of styles and colors for the popular birds. The designs are great for scrapbooks and posters, and the watercolor approach brings an artsy aesthetic to computer graphics. Teachers looking for ways to incorporate these graphics into classrooms can discuss the elements of the flamingo’s body and neck, as well as its long legs and beak.
Flamingos’ wings are a bright pink color, and their eyes are also vibrant. They are adapted for flight, and they can hold their heads up at different angles to change their flight direction. The wings also have a built-in flap that allows them to land in shallow water.
